Ingredients
Method
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey, salt, and a few grinds of pepper; cook, breaking the meat into small crumbles, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook 3 to 4 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook 30 seconds.
- Add the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, and cayenne (if using). Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until the spices darken slightly and smell toasty.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, and drained beans. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom, and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, partially cover the pot, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chili thickens. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
- Ladle into bowls and top with sour cream, cheese, cilantro, lime, and tortilla chips if you like. Serve hot.
Notes
Leftovers taste even better the next day. Refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze in airtight containers for up to 3 months. For a thicker texture, mash a small portion of the beans before adding them to the pot.
